Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - Tech problem. Enabling CD-rom for MS-DOS mode.

The Hierophant · 01-15-2003, 11:52 PM

Howdy. I'm a big fan of old, pre-windows95 games and as such I often need to run them in MS-DOS mode. However, for some reason my comp won't enable the CD-rom drive in said mode. It used to allow this, until I sent it to the shop for repairs recently and they reisntalled my OS for me. Now, I've tried reinstalling windows again but this doesn't work. I know I'll have to fiddle around with my config.sys or something like that, but I have no idea what to add in or take out.
I'm using Win98 btw.
If anyone could offer any help or advice it would be much appreciated.
